Juror Statement: I have long been a patient observer of nature, in particular of its rhythms, patterns and cycles. For over fifty years I have explored painting, printing, ceramics, photography, sculpture and mixed media. In much of my work there is a compelling sense of place: our shorelines, rocks, lava fields, skies and rainforests of the Big Island. Lately, my concerns with the war, global warming, immigration and the depletion of our natural resources are depicted in my work. Hiroki Morinoue, 2012

The third phase will be on-site jurying by the juror to determine awards.
